All homes that are not served by a sewage collection system («tout à l'égout») must be equipped with an independent system known as «assainissement non collectif».
New facilities
For any new independent wastewater treatment plant, a file detailing the project must be compiled and submitted to Véolia for a compliance study.
The blank file can be collected from our offices at the Town Hall or downloaded:

Once the work has been completed, and before the system is covered, it must be inspected to ensure that it has been carried out correctly.
Existing facilities
The Water Act requires all existing on-site installations to be inspected periodically; Coeur de France carries out these inspections every 8 years.
Cœur de France has entrusted this task to VÉOLIA Eau, under a public service delegation contract. The inspection consists of an on-site check by an approved technician to ensure that the system is being properly maintained and is operating correctly.
Following this examination, work may be prescribed to owners, if necessary.
Practice
Diagnostics are valid for 3 years from the date they are carried out.
When selling a property, it is the seller's responsibility to produce a valid sanitation diagnosis.
